I was riding down the interstate tonight when I noticed I was beginning to slowly lose power. I pulled into the far right line and all of the sudden heard a snap and my tires locked up. Luckily I was able to control the bike and not crash it. It was pretty dark, so I wasn't able to assess the damage. I took a cab home.
Anyone know a mechanic in the Atlanta area that I can tow my bike to in the morning for repairs?
a motorcycle repair place?, lets see, http://yellowpages.superpages.com/mapbasedsearch/mapsearch.jsp?SRC=portals&C=Motorcycles&CID=00000494829&STYPE=S&T=Atlanta&S=GA&PP=N&paging=&PI=&search=Find+It&IP=68.84.85.124&PS=22&city=Atlanta&state=GA&dponmap=true
Ok... it wasn't the chain. The chain is completely intact and the bike doesn't have any external signs of damage. I guess the motor blew?
Yikes! :o Sorry to hear about your problem, but glad you came out ok! :thumb:
How's the oil level?
edit: make sure you check the oil level with the bike on centre stand and dipstick resting on top of the threads (i.e. NOT screwed in)
boy i hope it was not the motor. my clutch lever gave out on me today and i had to tie a sting to it to shift :)
